There Just Aren't Enough Hours In My Day...

Which is a pretty bad excuse for not blogging yesterday, but there you have it! :) My apologies to those of you that faithfully check it each night!

LA: Vocabulary Vine, Grammar, Spelling and reading galore this morning. We crammed many things into our short time together. We continued work with our spelling sounds, as well as talked about contractions today and just how they are formed and spelled. We also spent time with our leveled readers and taking AR tests.

HW: Don't forget that tomorrow is our usual Friday, so Fluency and Flow is due. The reading treasure boxes are due as well! We've had 3 turned in so far and they are AMAZING! I can't wait to see the rest! Usual assessments will be given tomorrow as well!

Math: Protractors, Please! We began work on measuring and drawing angles today. This brings us back to the very first unit in 4th grade math! Now is a great time to review angle terms with your child. We need to know the difference between acute, right, obtuse, straight and reflex! Talk about it at dinner tonight!

HW: Pages 167-169 are due tomorrow

Health: Our hearts were beating fast! We spent our day exercising! We got a baseline for 4 aerobic exercises today and plan on rechecking this in about 6 weeks! I've challenged all of Ms. Grannan's class to pick one of these exercises to work on per day to increase strength and endurance! We even spent some time "Sweatin' To The Oldies!"

HW: Chapter 3 test will be given on Monday!


Things in blue folders you should have seen by now:
  • Science Expo forms! Science expo is manadatory for 4th and 5th graders. Scientific questions are due to Ms. Grannan on January 7th. It's never to early to start planning on this project, this isn't a good one to let go until the last minute!
